Katie Ledecky has positioned herself to swim for the United States in the final of the 4×100-meter freestyle relay.

Ledecky took the anchor leg in the preliminaries Saturday and posted what was by far the fastest time among the four American swimmers. Her split was 52.64 seconds, good enough to rally the U.S. to second in the heat behind the favored Australians.

Amanda Weir was next fastest at 53.60, followed by Lia Neal (53.63) and Allison Schmitt (53.72).

Abbey Weitzeil and Simone Manuel rested up for the evening final. They’ll likely be joined by Ledecky and one other swimmer, with Dana Vollmer also a possibility.

Ledecky is favored to win gold in her three individual events, and she’ll also be the anchor on the 4×200 freestyle relay.

After a loss in the quarter finals this morning, Menezes returned to the mat against top-ranked Urantsetseg Munkhbat, but failed to find the form that won her the title at the London Olympics.

The two were locked in a largely defensive match, with both judokas struggling to knock the other off balance.

In the decisive “golden score” round, Munkhbat swung her legs over Menezes head after the two fell to the ground. The Mongolian quickly applied an armbar – hyperextending Menezes’ arm to the point it might break. Menezes tapped out in submission, automatically giving Munkhbat the victory.

In the men’s division, Brazil’s other judo medal hope on Saturday, Felipe Kitadai, was beaten by Diyorbek Urozboev of Uzbekistan, eliminating him from the bronze medal match.

Millman made only two unforced errors, 25 fewer than his opponent, Lithuania’s Ricardas Berankis, in the 50-minute rout.

Said Millman: “I feel for him, because I’ve been on the end of some pretty big spankings before.”

It was not easy to see this one coming, considering the players’ ATP rankings: Berankis is No. 71, while Millman is No. 75.

Even Millman acknowledged: “Of course it’s surprising.”

American tennis player Jack Sock says he was diagnosed with walking pneumonia just before he left for Rio.

The 14th-seeded Sock lost his first-round match to 118th-ranked Taro Daniel of Japan 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday. He revealed afterward that he had been sick since the end of his run at Wimbledon in early July. What started as the common cold turned into a cough that just wouldn’t go away.

The 23-year-old Sock says he went to his doctor the night before he departed for Rio de Janeiro but there was no way he was going to miss his first Olympics.

He still plans to play in doubles with Steve Johnson and possibly mixed doubles.

Horton was asked about a reported incident between the two at the practice pool earlier in the week. The Aussie says Sun “splashed me to say hello, and I didn’t respond because I don’t have time for drug cheats.”

In 2014, Sun served a three-month suspension in 2014 for using a banned stimulant.

Horton spoke Saturday after posting the second-fastest time in the preliminaries of the 400-meter freestyle behind American Conor Dwyer.

Sun also advanced to the evening final with the fourth-best time. He’s the defending gold medalist in the 400 free.

Vietnam’s Hoang Xaun Vihn has won his first Olympic gold medal, rallying to beat hometown favorite Felipe Almeida Wu on the final shot of men’s 10-meter air pistol.

Wu trailed by as many as 2.3 points, but moved 0.2 ahead of Hoang with a 10.2 on his penultimate shot.

The Brazilian hit 10.1 on his final shot, setting off a raucous chant of “Wu!” from the crowd, but Hoang shot 10.7 to earn gold.

Hoang raised his arms in triumph following the final shot and the Brazilian fans sent Wu off with another chant.

French gymnast Samir Ait Said’s Olympics ended when he severely injured his left leg while vaulting during team preliminaries on Saturday.

Said’s leg bent awkwardly as he tried to land, the sound of the injury echoing through the arena.

Said writhed on the ground in agony while medical officials tended to him. He exited on a stretcher to a standing ovation.

The injury came minutes after Germany’s Andreas Toba hurt his knee during floor exercise. Toba abandoned his routine and was helped off by trainers but managed to compete on pommel horse before exiting to receive medical attention.

The U.S. men are leading halfway through the second subdivision thanks to a strong performance from four-time national champion Sam Mikulak. Great Britain, which took third at last year’s world championships, is second. The top eight teams in qualifying will move on to Monday night’s team final.

The first upset is in on Day 1 of the women’s Olympic volleyball tournament.

Upstart Netherlands, back in the Olympics for the first time in 20 years since Atlanta in 1996, defeated medal favorite and third-ranked China in five sets Saturday, 25-23, 21-25, 18-25, 25-22, 15-13 at Maracanazinho arena.

The Russian swimmer was added to the start list for Sunday’s 100-meter breaststroke after initially being banned because of a previous doping violation.

Efimova has been a flashpoint in the Russian doping scandal because she not only served a 16-month suspension for doping, she tested positive again this year for the now-banned substance meldonium.

That result was placed on hold while WADA does further studies on the drug, which was added to the list of banned substances Jan. 1.

Efimova, the reigning world champion in the 100 breast, was initially banned along with six other Russian swimmers who either had positive tests on their record or were named in an investigation of the massive, state-sanctioned doping scheme.

Now, it looks like they’ll all be competing in Rio.

Duran appeared to be crying as he picked up his clothing and walked off the deck while fans applauded in sympathy.

Moments later, Duran reappeared and took his position on the starting block, having been given a reprieve.

He finished seventh in his heat.

Balderas had over 20 friends and family members in the Rio stands because he qualified in November, giving them plenty of time to buy tickets. They tried a “U-S-A!” chant during the fight, but were booed down by the rest of the crowd.
